First Meeting with Ma Hongjun

Hearing the telepathic message suddenly, even while he was concealing himself, Ma Hongjun was instantly stunned.

What the hell? I, a dignified Deity, didn't even notice anything amiss at Shrek, so how come someone here noticed me first?

This was Ma Hongjun's only thought at that moment.

However, Ma Hongjun was only stunned for half a second before he immediately realized that the person who sent the message was on Sea God Island, mainly because that guy hadn't hidden his location at all.

Without saying a word, Ma Hongjun flashed and reappeared on Sea God Island.

He saw three young people playing cards under a large tree by the Sea God Lake?

A young man, with an ordinary appearance, was someone that even Second-level Deity could not see through.

A little girl, who looked like she was still a minor, was already Super Douluo, but that wasn't the point. The point was that he sensed Godhead aura emanating from this little girl.

The last young man, although very handsome and on par with him, was just an ordinary Titled Douluo.

But this scene... is somewhat illogical.

He's a Deity, after all! How can you be so leisurely playing cards in front of Deity?

Even disregarding his Deity status, Ma Hongjun is already a legend of Shrek, yet now he feels like just a Passerby A.

However, Ma Hongjun's thoughts were fleeting.

The next moment, Ma Hongjun stared at the ordinary-looking young man and said, "I never expected Shrek to produce someone like you. Remarkable."

The tone was full of praise.

Although Ma Hongjun couldn't see through this young man or know his strength and level, it was precisely because of this that his extraordinary nature was revealed.

The young man put down his cards, stood up lazily, and smiled, "My name is Zhou Huan, an ordinary first-year teacher at Shrek. You flatter me, senior."

Clearly, the one who could discover Ma Hongjun's entry into Shrek was Zhou Huan himself.

In fact, Zhou Huan had just been playing cards with Xiao Xiao and Wen Xiaoshuai when he suddenly sensed divine power entering Shrek.

With his divine sense, he easily recognized the newcomer as Ma Hongjun.

Firstly, Ma Hongjun's appearance hasn't changed at all; he looks exactly like the stone sculpture in the academy.

Secondly, while Ma Hongjun's phoenix fire aura could fool others, it couldn't fool Zhou Huan, who possessed Absolute Zero. Ice and fire are inherently incompatible, so Zhou Huan's sensitivity to them was naturally very high.

Of course, with Ma Hongjun's strength, he couldn't sense Zhou Huan; the difference in their levels was too great.

Zhou Huan was actually a little confused. Why was Ma Hongjun not staying in the Divine Realm? Why did he suddenly run to Shrek?

However, since he had no grudge against Ma Hongjun, Zhou Huan remained polite. "We were unaware of your sudden arrival, senior. Shrek has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive us."

Seeing Zhou Huan's polite but completely insincere professional smile, Ma Hongjun's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself, "Were you just sitting there playing cards? What kind of unwelcoming greeting is this?"

Not wanting to offend someone who's all smiles, Ma Hongjun casually replied, "It's alright, I was just bored and came to visit my old academy. And please don't call me 'senior' anymore. To be honest, I can't see through you, and those I can't see through are certainly no less capable than me."

Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Well... hello Brother Ma."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun almost slipped. He thought to himself, "There's no need to be so friendly. The last person who called me his brother can only laugh now."

However, before Ma Hongjun could reply, Zhou Huan continued to point at him and introduce him, "Xiao Xiao, Old Wen, this is Senior Ma Hongjun, one of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, and also the God of Phoenix of the Douluo God Realm now. Let's get acquainted."

Although Xiao Xiao and Wen Xiaoshuai had some doubts when they saw Ma Hongjun's appearance, after Zhou Huan confirmed it, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at this legendary figure from ten thousand years ago.

Upon seeing the gazes of these two people, Ma Hongjun instantly felt like a monkey in a zoo, completely uncomfortable.

Alas, the unrestrained and carefree Evil Fire Phoenix is gone, leaving only a heartbroken and lonely God of Phoenix.

However, Ma Hongjun soon heard the little girl with the loli voice say with an unfriendly expression, "You're Tang San's friend, right? Let's make this clear first, we have a grudge against him! Even if you're First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, I'm still one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, and I won't let you come here to cause trouble."

Ma Hongjun: "..." What is this little girl saying?

Zhou Huan: "..." When it comes to tigers, it has to be a little loli! Facing a dignified Deity without the slightest fear, who gave you the courage? Was it someone surnamed Liang?

Wen Xiaoshuai, standing to the side, tugged at the little girl's sleeve and said, "Calm down, Xiao Xiao, you can't beat him."

Although he knew Zhou Huan was there, Wen Xiaoshuai felt there was no need to immediately sideline him, especially since Zhou Huan hadn't said anything yet.

After a brief silence, Zhou Huan spoke up, "Brother Ma, don't listen to that little girl's nonsense. Our business with Tang San is none of your concern. Brother Ma grew up at the Shrek Academy; this is his home. Why would he come here to cause trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun sighed slightly and said, "You're overthinking it. Whether it's Tang San's matter or yours, it's none of my business, and I don't care. I'm just here for a stroll at the academy."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan's eyes flashed almost imperceptibly as his mind raced. He guessed that it was probably the God of Destruction, or perhaps Rong Nianbing, who had gone to see Ma Hongjun.

Otherwise, given Ma Hongjun's personality, it's impossible for him to be completely indifferent to matters concerning Tang San.

He seems to be a man whose heart has been broken.

After only a second's thought, Zhou Huan said, "Actually, Brother Ma could stay a little longer. Shrek is far more advanced now than it was ten thousand years ago. Especially the development of Soul Tool. Although Soul Tool used in actual combat certainly can't compare to the power of Deity right now, they bring great convenience to daily life. If Brother Ma is interested, he can take a look around; it'll be a good way to pass the time."

However, Ma Hongjun waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not interested in those things."

After a pause, Ma Hongjun seemed to remember something and decided to add a reminder: "By the way, if you really have a grudge against Tang San, you'd better be careful. That's all I have to say."

After saying that, Ma Hongjun turned to leave.

But at that moment, Zhou Huan's sudden words made him stop in his tracks. "Brother Ma, don't you want to see your and Senior Bai Chenxiang's descendants?"

Bite!

Ma Hongjun stared at Zhou Huan with a complicated expression, remaining silent for a long time.

Do you want to see his and Xiangxiang's descendants?

A gentle smile appeared on Ma Hongjun's face. He and his wife had several children back then, but... he was not a good husband or father.

Now, is he still qualified to meet his and her descendants?
